Case No.: 11-CV-01846-LHK
ORDER REGARDING APPLE’S
MOTIONS TO FILE UNDER SEAL

On December 22, 2011, Apple filed two administrative motions to file under seal. ECF

20

Nos. 532 & 540. Apple requests sealing of certain documents that were designated confidential by

21

Samsung under the interim protective order in this matter. Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(d), when a

22

party moves to seal documents designated as sealable by another party, the designating party must

23

file a supporting declaration within 7 days, or the sealing motion will be denied. Samsung did not

24

file a supporting declaration in response to the December 22, 2011 sealing motions.

25

If Samsung objects to the public filing of the documents identified in Apple’s sealing

26

motions, Samsung shall file a declaration stating the basis for asserting confidentiality of each

27

exhibit plaintiffs seek to seal. These declarations must be filed by January 10, 2012. If no
